Upright

This card can indicate many things, but not all of them are so obvious as the call of a lover. The Lovers card can also suggest both something most specific, such as a certain aspect of a romantic relationship, or something more general, such as the love for family or a particular personal passion. The card also very clearly demarcates opposites working together in tandem, though not necessarily even in a human relationship. This card could also indicate choices to be made, connections to forge, and compassion to be exercised. Many people may be coming together to achieve a common goal.

Reverse

There has been a certain discord in the relationship going on here, whether it be with a lover, one’s personal beliefs, the divinity or whatever other relationship the card chooses to represent that day, but now it is slowly coming to a reconciliation. This also suggests there may be a difficult choice, especially in the romantic or relational department. A love or affinity may be called into question. It is important to stand strong here.
